CaSR-Mediated hBMSCs Activity Modulation: Additional Coupling Mechanism in Bone Remodeling Compartment.

ABSTRACT: Near the bone remodeling compartments (BRC), extracellular calcium concentration (Ca2+o) is locally elevated and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) close to the BRC can be exposed to high calcium concentration. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is known to play a key role in maintaining extracellular calcium homeostasis by sensing fluctuations in the levels of extracellular calcium (Ca2+o). When human BMSCs (hBMSCs) were exposed to various calcium concentrations (1.8, 3, 5, 10, 30 mM), moderate-high extracellular calcium concentrations (3-5 mM) stimulated proliferation, while a high calcium concentration (30 mM) inhibited the proliferation. Exposure to various calcium concentrations did not induce significant differences in the apoptotic cell fraction. Evaluation of multi-lineage differen
